 Antonín Dvořák

THE LATE SYMPHONIES - LEGENDS

London Symphony Orchestra -- Witold Rowicki

Philips   1969 / 1997

Notes: "Arriving in New York in 1892, Dvořák cast himself with enthusiasm into the music of a country he had long admired.  He was delighted by the songs of Stephen Foster, by Afro-American spirituals and folk music.  "It is this spirit which I have tried to reproduce in my new symphony," he later wrote.  He wrote his Ninth Symphony as music sent home "from the New World," adding this phrase as the work's title shortly before its first performance in New York in 1893."

SYMPHONY No.9 in E Minor, Op.95 "From the New World"
